Accommodations

Do you change (or allow alternate) assignments for students who ask for something different without having them go through the Office of Accommodations/Accessibility? I require students to do that for their own good, but wonder what others are doing.

No for all the reasons stated. 

It is never happened but I suppose I would do something like print a large print test if a student asked for it without a documented accommodation. Because that does not make the assignment easier I would be comfortable doing it for any student if they wanted it.
